Just want to add

The term suspected case is broad and maybe misunderstood by the lay person, but should be taken very seriously esp contacts, However the persons may NOT have Ebola.

like i always say, blashemy is a word coined by that arch enemy, the arch deciever to prevent one from thinking logically. there is a reason why GOD created us and put that little but very powerful thing in us, it is called brains to analyse, think and ask questions. GOD is ever there to answer. having said all this, what do you think is happening? rapture is taking place as we speak, so is the ressurection? do you know what they mean? GOD IS ONE, TO WHOM WE ARE ALL DEPENDENT INCLUDING JESUS. Seek and ye shall find, and the truth shall set you free, oh brother you will never be the same again.

Tundeiab: Stop the BLASPHEMY. Wise people don't talk about issues they know nothing about

ibedun: All the problems wey dey our land GOD never sabi as he go commot am

And people still dey offer prayers? Keep doing the same thing and getting the same results.

Scientists where are thou!

where are scientist since hiv? Not saying they are not trying thou, but humans does not have solution to their problems.

Very soon EBOLA will be a thing of the past. God will surely see Nigeria through. Don‘t let devil stop you from SAYING A BIG AMEN TO CLAIM IT!
No matter how fast its spread,
No matter how fast its kills,
No matter how serious it is,
No matter how communicable it is,
You and your family and friends will never be infected with this
deadly diseases called EBOLA VIRUS in Jesus Name.

Why do Nigerians delight in spreading false news? This news has been debunked by the health minister. Peddlers of false news like this should know they are doing more harm than even the ebola itself because many people may end up dying from high b.p on hearing such fake news.

Sammiel: This news is fake. The minister of health has debunked the fake rumour throught his special assistant on media and publicity. Read below:

Anyone that believes what a govt official says or what they read in newspapers or watch on tv is deceiving themselves.

cold: God why did you have to bring this plague upon us? What have we done to you? What have we done to deserve this? Have you not tormented us enough? Sigh!

There is no god so stop blaming "it" for things it did not do.

abujamal: the only solution to this epidemic disease is prayer

Your comment is foolish...

gbadexy:
you are a very observant person. Your post shed a terrifying new light on the ebola disease.
The implication is that the secondary contacts most likely got it via contact with their relatives and they couldn't have been sick before they were isolated.
It means they are giving false hope that the disease can only be transferred during the last stage whwn the victim must have been ill.

Na now u just dey realise abi...

Beync: its a sign the end is drawing nearer

This is a world without end..

exactly. Remember the pregnant woman at nnpc who latter tested positive because the same doctor who took care of sawyer attended to her the same day. There's misinformation about mode of transmission

U were making until you involved religion. The creator(not god) created humans to solve and create their own problems.

God can't help Nigeria from this cos it(god) does not exist.

Beync: where are scientist since hiv? Not saying they are not trying thou, but humans does not have solution to their problems.

Scientists have cured hiv. Humans have the solutions to their own problems.

Why do u like believing such news. Are u even sure the number of infected people is not higher than stated.

McLuhan: I declare in the name of Jesus Christ that this disease will not spread beyond control; neither will it destroy the destinies of our young people and of our country.

I pray that all the preventive and containment measures put in place by government will prove successful, in Jesus' name.

Even if nobody in the world has ever developed immunity to this virus, I know that miracles still do happen. For that reason, I pray that our immune systems will be divinely strengthened to resist this infection, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I commit into the hands of God all medical personnel and all caregivers who are involved in the fight against this pestilence, especially nurses, doctors, hospital workers, members of the Red Cross, Medecins San Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), and other international NGOs whose volunteers risk their lives daily to save others. May their lives be spared in the course of this struggle, and may they and all of us find protection against this virulent disease, in Jesus' blessed name.

Just as a cure was found for small pox, for measles and for numerous other diseases that reaped a yearly harvest of souls, I pray that an affordable and accessible antidote will be found, and found soon, for ebola. I pray that the cure will not be available in the developed world alone, nor shall it be priced beyond the reach of the poor. May it not be termed an "experimental drug" and locked up in the vaults of some designer laboratories in the West only to be brought out when the lives or health of certain privileged people are threatened.

Above all, may the emergence of this disease cause all of us to consider the brevity of human life, to resolve to lead kind and caring lives while we can, and to draw closer to God, who is our only security. Amen.

Quit over bogging God! He has given the brains to go conquer the world. God cannot do it for u, only U can!

Beync: it's not this one yet

It is... If u were thinking with your human brain and not your religious brain... U'll know that this world has no end.

Your minister of health is as clueless as your president, and a scam too.

GodMode:

. hiv has no cure. like I said before, man does not have solution to his own problem because he did not design himself. That's why he keeps failing, he'll try to solve this one, another one will surface, the circle continues.

Beync: exactly. Remember the pregnant woman at nnpc who latter tested positive because the same doctor who took care of sawyer attended to her the same day. There's misinformation about mode of transmission

That much is apparent.
My fear now is that we have over 200 secondary contacts who may have been in contact with others.

GodMode:

It is... If u were thinking with your human brain and not your religious brain... U'll know that this world has no end.

could you please answer me, who gives the human brain you're talking about?

Beync: If secondary contact are testing positive, it means ebola carriers can infect others even when they are not visibly sick or displaying symptoms

Ori e wanbe..

That woman is a heroine and should be celebrated. A federal hospital or college of medicine should be named in her memory.

if not for her, half of Lagos would have been wiped off.

The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu,has dismissed the new cases reported in Lagos as false.

Read the Minister's press statement dismissing the claim

Smh for those of you that don't know when to play politics and when not to. The FG through the health minister has been handling this ebola outbreak with all the seriousness it deserves, and has even received international commendation for her efforts to curb the spread of the virus, yet bigots like you keep propagating falsehood all in an attempt to make the government appear incompetent. In case you don't know, if more people had been infected, it wouldn't have been in the realm of speculations. Many deaths would have been recorded.

Beync: where are scientist since hiv? Not saying they are not trying thou, but humans does not have solution to their problems.

Such high level of ignorance being displayed and this is caused by extreme religious 'fanatism'.
Madam have you ever left the shores of Nigeria to see that humans that think with their brains have solutions to problems?
The problem with Nigerians is that we are far too lazy to think up ideas and innovations but will choose the easy way out and say we have prayed. Then we wait for America to do something and even insult them when they don't, like it's their problem.

Where are the girls Nigerians have been praying about? Something is definitely wrong somewhere.

eaglechild: The way these media houses have been headlining Ebola stories is misleading.

These cases have been under surveillance all along.

Besides one new suspected case.

In any case i wonder what it will take to do confirmatory test on all the contacts.

The media needs to be CLEAR in its reportage.

The ministry of health needs to give accurate unambiguous information.

I agree with you.

dnawah: this one don pass maria o!na only the saviour go save us.

Verily I say unto you, and quote me anywhere even before Our Lord Jesus Christ. If Mary doesn't intervene Jesus won't dare lift a finger to help you or save us as a matter of fact and 100% certitude. If you obey your mother then Jesus who.is your master and teacher obeys her mother even Tue more.
